Law of the jungle

The law of the jungle is an expression used to describe how nature works in the wild: the strongest creatures survive and the weaker creatures die or get eaten. It means that animals or other living things that can't defend themselves against other animals won't live very long. It also means that the creatures that are most successful at surviving and finding food, shelter, and other resources will be the ones that stay alive.
